I want to go to Denmark?


I am danish and one day I plan on taking a trip to denmark.....so I was wondering what exciting things there is to do there and what the people are like??????

One way to describe the Danes is like a bottle of catchup. You can hit and hit and nothing comes out, and then one day suddenly everything pours out at once. This means that the Danes are a very kind and friendly people, but they are reserved until they get to know you. They don't smile at you on the street, for example, but when you go out for a drink, they totally open up. Lots of beautiful people, who dress very stylishly.

Denmark is very different in different places. I would recommend going to Skagen, Ribe, Odense, Copenhagen, and Fredericksborg. And Roskilde.

One of the best things you can do while in Denmark is to go to an outdoor music festival (like Roskilde Festival or Skandeborg Festival) where you camp out for days and go to concert after concert. TONS of people are there. If it rains, people play in the mud. It's wild and fun.

Other things to do include:
- going to castles (like Hamlet's castle);
- going to see the Little Mermaid, Christiania, Stroeget, and Tivoli in Copenhagen;
- checking out some museums on Danish architecture & design and visiting some famous works (like the Black Diamond)
- going to Viking museums (there are a ton)
- going to the beach and visiting small fishing villages
- art museums (like Louisiana)

Denmark is fabulous, but expensive! You don't need to know Danish; everyone speaks English.

Hey I live in Scandinavia and about the people being really reserved, it's true, but it's the least in Denmark. I think the people there are really open compared to other countries in northern europe.
Yeah, people are very stylish as everywhere in here and everyone speaks english..
btw, the ketchup comparison was really stupid, that means- you really don't know WHY we are reserved to the strangers. maybe next time you'll stand the real reason.

I loved Denmark, and I don't remember noticing that people were at all reserved. I thought they were very nice, and, yes, everyone speaks English well enough to not need any Danish, but If you learn a few little phrases, like hello, goodbye, please and thank you, you will endear yourself to the people ever so much more.

Howdymel gave you an exhaustive list of things to do.
I would add that you should go by the statue of Hans Christian Anderson...his knee is well polished, because everyone has their photo taken, sitting on it. (That's in Copenhagen, city of beautiful towers. :) )
